I think it was Marlow. Othres say Bacon or The Earl of Oxford. A new panel of scholars are digging into it in a major way, again.

Acclaimed actor Derek Jacobi and Mark Rylance, the former artistic director of Shakespeare's Globe Theater in London, unveiled a "Declaration of Reasonable Doubt" on the authorship of Shakespeare's work Saturday, following the final matinee of "I am Shakespeare," a play investigating the bard's identity, in Chichester, southern England.

January 10th, 1845
I love your verses with all my heart, dear Miss Barrett, -- and this is no off-hand complimentary letter that I shall write, --whatever else, no prompt matter-of-course recognition of your genius and there a graceful and natural end of the thing: since the day last week when I first read your poems, I quite laugh to remember how I have been turning again in my mind what I should be able to tell you of their effect upon me -- for in the first flush of delight I though I would this once get out of my habit of purely passive enjoyment, when I do really enjoy, and thoroughly justify my admiration -- perhaps even, as a loyal fellow-craftsman should, try and find fault and do you some little good to be proud of herafter! -- but nothing comes of it all -- so into me has it gone, and part of me has it become, this great living poetry of yours, not a flower of which but took root and grew ...

It's fun to get the nonsense and the quality responses. Some people just have to have something to say. It's funny. Try a bunch it's fun. I asked this question in P&S, let's see what happens if I put it in Philosophy.

Consider this:
"You affect the world by what you browse."
-- Tim Berners-Lee, English Inventor of the World Wide Web

Is this so? If it is, how are you affecting our world?
Is this NOT so? Then why not?

Someone told me their opinion on the best short story that they've ever read. I'm curious to see if someone agrees with them.

I won't tell the story until either someone says it or until the question is out.

BTW, I'm considering short stories to be under one hundred pages.

My Sims 2 game got me thinking.

Although they are just virtual characters, do you think they are real in a way? Not real like you and me, but do you think they can "feel" and "think" , etc?

When you delete Sims or Neighborhoods do you think they are just GONE or do they go into some inaccessible computer file or something?

Is it possible our actions are controlled just like the Sims' actions?

Does god see us like we see the Sims characters?

The Sims game does seem rather pointless because there is not much for them to accomplish, and their lives are limited. Is real life the same way too?

Thank you for thinking about my simolosophical questions. :)

I have to construct a short story for school and I know it's a stupid question considering how many novels I've read, but does a climax have to be good?

My mom says it should be shocking or good.

What if it's something that's bad, like bad news. Does that not make it a climax??

In your opinion, what should a climax ultimately be?

Good? Bad? Shocking? Sad?

An Angel on earth indeed I have found
For my heart with your eyes in a second you've bound
So much do you care and with all of your love
But where does it go
Frail like a dove
Yet mighty in spirit - an intent resolve
A mystery to me
And my kingdom to solve
May kingdom be empty I do have my soul
So that will I bear if only to know
Okay
Hurtful and tearing your core
Does that fit?
Hope
Perplexed and much more
Oh my God I can't fix it
To give you the peace that I once tasted
Though I glimpse the peace now and feel my life has been wasted
But for more than a time - to you from now on
I know not when it left me
Just that it's gone
Only in our brief time I wouldn't be me without you
A beginning you gave me
So sweet and so new
You are stunning - unspeakable
I look in your eyes and go blank
I wouldn't be me and it is you that I thank

What do we absolutely, one hundred percent know? Something that cannot be questioned, or argued.

Examples of wrong answers: 1. We know nothing. (That's self-contridicting because that would mean we know something.)
2. We are self-aware. (We can't prove that others are self-aware. This could all be a dream. We don't know if everyone else around us is self-aware or if it's just us because we can only prove to ourselves that we are self-aware)

At first I thought I would instantly want to be able to see, but I thought of something that changed that. If you were blind, lust would disappear from your mind. As we all know, lust is up there with the most influentual things on mankind. If you were blind, you would become more wise, make better choices, and be more just.

As of now, I'm 50-50. Both ways have their pros and cons.
